Main stack is MERN Stack
React : to handle frontend, building reusable UI Components, Manage State efficiently and client-side routing
Node.JS : for backend and provide a provide robust server-side environment for the application’s logic and APIs
Express.JS : a Node framework used for develop simple and efficient routing and API management
MongoDB : for storing data like posts, comments, user profiles and data with using Mongoose ODM library to provide object-oriented way to interact with MongoDB
To manage the HTTP requests in the frontend I used Axios
For a complex state managements across components on the application I selected Redux to manage global application state and ensuring predictable data flow
To add some animations to enhance user experience and visual appeal I used Framer Motion library
For routing in the app and manage different URLs dynamic and static, React Router was the best option to handle routing and navigation
Implementing Live Chat between users was challenging due to the need of persistent connection between client and server, Socket.io was the best solution for seamless real-time communication between client and server
For the need to Secure Authentication and Authorization for access protected resources, I used JSON Web Token (JWT), and encrypt sensitive data with Bcrypt
To handle Images, avatars, banners I used Cloudinary for storing and managing media files and Multer for handling the file uploads
